Two Thousand Killed.

Rome, Feb. 24.-Reports of disasters
deaths reported up to the present time is
about 1000. The shocks we're felt at
Parma, Turin and Cosenza. The undula-
tions OF the earth we've noticed at Catonia,
in Sicily, at the foot of Mount Etna. The
director at the Turin observatory tele-
graphs that the seiznic instruments are
quiescent and no further disturbance is
feared.

I'm few days the legislature will
be called upon to say, whether or not,
Missouri's Capital shall remain where
it is or be brought out into the light,
and placed upon the great highway
of trade and traffic, where it may
stand a monument and evidence to
the wayfarer, the traveller, and the
public, of the prosperity, growth,
energy, and life of the grandest state
in the union. Missouri ranks fifth
among the states of the union in the
number of its people. 1t has a
population of more than 1000, 600
and resources capable of sustaining
five times that number. 1t contains
49, Ala square miles of fertile land
an area nearly equal to that OF all
New England.
Thousands are conslantally flock
ing to it, and through it, hunting
homes in the west, and while sur
rounding states with less than halt
its advantages are straining every
nerve to acquire this immigration.
while their state institutions and
public enterprises are paraded and
displayed as their chief evidence of
worth Missouri lies supinely still
and hides her real light under a
bushel measure, located in the very
heart of the union. With its
railroads and waterways, Missouri is
as well equipped for commerce as any
state in the union. Five thousand
miles of railway have been built
within the last thirty years. Missouri
has not made much of record as a
manufacturing state, but she has all
the natural resources to equip her for
manufacturing.
Coal fields extend over nearly one
third of her area and her stores Of iron
and lead are practically inexhaustible.
Other mineral are abundant; copper,
zinc, saltpetre, glass, sand and fire
clay are found in large quantities.
\ She has forests and quarries and
F215, 900 farms.
She has 5000 public schools, nu-
merous high schools and academies,
and state university, which is well
equipped in its departments. This
state is located in the middle of the
United States, so far as population
is cencernsn. Its climate is all
that could be desired. 1t boasts
of the most progressive city in the
United States. There is no reason
why the advantages offered by Mis-
souri, should not draw eastern capital
to develop her resources. The legis-
lature should take these things into
consideration, since, as means to an
end, the location of the state capital
is an important feature. Neither
Sedalia's ambition nor Jefferson City'sI
cupidity ought to have any weight
with them. The question
is one of higher and broader grounds,
the states veal, the peoples advantage
and prosperity as whole, and what
are likely to be the demands of the
present and the future, should alone
govern them. Let them act wisely,
discreetly, and as statesmen who are
worthy of the name, and take only
such steps as they shall feel certain
gre for the best interests of all.

GRAND JURY REPORT

To the Hon. L. j. Delony, Judge
of the 9Th Judicial District Court
now holding session in the Parish
of Madison:
We, your Grand Jury, duly EN-.
panneled and sworn, for this term
of Your honorable Court beg to
hand you this, our final report.
Much matter has come before our
notice, partly brought directly; in
some cases incidentally involved
1t has all had from us careful at
tention and diligent inquiry. We
have found true bills in those
cases In which the offence was SER.
ious and the evidence sufficient in
one opinion to convict. We have
set aside some minor cases as to
which considerable expense would
DO entatiled aud no public good
rebound.
1t has appeared to us that some
times trivial disputes have been
turned into serious criminal acts
by the fact that parties thereto had
at the moment in their possession
deadly weapons.
We hope our action concerning
offences of this nature will bring
the law OIL this subject more ex:
plicitly before the people and tend
to the repression of such offences.
We visited the Jail which we
found in clearly condition, the
prisoners appeared to be we'll fed,
and to receive good treatment they
made no complaint in answer to
our inquiries.
We have examined forty one
cases and report twenty four true
bills.
1t is our opinion that Justices Of
the Peace should not hold inquests
except after having endeavOred to
obtain the presence Of the Coroner
for such purpose.
We beg to present this our 6nal
report aud to be discharged.

GERMAN SPECTATORS.
Bismarck Was Aiming to Check
Them by His Recent Order.
BY Cable to the Globe.

BY Gable to the Globe.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The recent order of
Prince Bismarck to the German Impe-
rial bank to refuse further advances on
Russian stocks. is now asserted to have
been issued solely to check the active
speculation-nOt only in Russian but in
other foreign SecuritieS-which has for
some time been going on in Germany,
and was not political move designed
to teach the cZar the importance, from
financial point of view, of preserving
the good will of Germany, as has been
recently published. There is much to
be said in favor of the former aSSnmp-
ton, and if it be correct it gives support
to the fears entertained in some quar-
ters Of an approaching financial
crisis in Germany. 1t was stated
recently by an apparently we'll
informed correspondents at Berlin and
Vienna that the failure of the Leipsic
Discount company has drawn attention
to the extensive transactions and in
vestments of German banks in joint
stock industrial enterprises, and it was
asserted by a Berlin writer in the Lon
don Economist that further continuance
of the practices would result in disas
trOus financial crisis i'm GermaLy. In
quirieS since made show that his opinion
is not shared by leading financiers at
the German capital. 1t may be, never
theleSs. that the German government
sees good reason to discourage specula-
tiOn in. the fatherland. There is GER
tainly some ground for such precautiOn,
and there are also strong symptoms OF
financial trouble i'm Italy and France.
In Rome speculation in stock exchange
securities and in real estate has lately
been increasing, and in France there is
much activity among the holders of Pan
anna canal shares.

Reed made brief speech, in which he
cOunSelled party harmony and predicted

tiOns were agreed to without debate. eX-
cept in the case of Mr.Greer, over whose
nomination some little discussion arose

HASN'T LONG TO LIVE.
Opinions of Physicians on the
Crown Prince of Germany.
By Cable TO the Globe.

BY cable 10 the Gi0De.
LONDON, Dee. 3.--Private informa-
ton from Som Reno reports that there
has been no decided improvement in the
condition of the crown prince. His
physicians are doing all they can to pro-
long his life under the disease, and
admit that there is no chance of remov-
ing the disease except by an operation,
leaving the chances of curing the patient
small and the chances of Fastening his
end very great. His most sanguine
physician states that, barring accidents,
such as colds, etc, the crown prince
may live four years, while the others
hardly venture to prOgnOsticate his
term of life. In any case it is almost
certain that he can never be emperor of
Germany in anything but the name.
Prince William has not had the grim
experience of war that his father and
grandfather have had, and this fact in
creaseS the general feelingOf apprehen-
sion. The situation at the present
moment is not such as would make the
succession of young, inexperienced
and at the same time bellicOse emperor
a matter of indifference. The danger of
the reyanche has increased rather than
diminished of late. and in the event of
war it seems as though France would
secure an important ally. The anti
German tendencies which are at all
times at work in Russia appear to have
been strongly reinforced within the last
few months.
